Mourinho asked and the Refereeing Committee responded: «Mbappé's penalty was not to be retaken»

Record8 September 2026 at 19:26

José Mourinho questioned the VAR performance in Real Madrid's defeat against Betis, specifically regarding a Mbappé penalty that was not ordered to be retaken. The Real Madrid coach addressed the Refereeing Committee to obtain clarification on the decision.

The Refereeing Committee responded that Mbappé's penalty should not have been retaken, justifying their decision. The response comes after Mourinho publicly expressed his doubts about the VAR management of the moment during the match.

Real Madrid ended up losing the match against Betis, a result that would have increased Mourinho's frustration with what he considered to be a questionable decision by those responsible for the video assistant referee.

The case refers to a specific incident during the match where Mbappé suffered a foul in the area, but the penalty was not retaken after some interruption or irregularity at the time of the kick.
